Epson SX215 All-In-One for Home and School

Printing, scanning, and copying are all performed by the inexpensive Epson SX215. It can generally be found for less than 50 GBP. It’s got a full-colour LCD screen and a memory card slot, so it can be used to view and edit photos without involving a computer. The unit is fairly compact, with dimensions of 450 mm x 342 mm x 182 mm

The SX215 accepts A4 and 15 x 10 cm paper, with a convenient toggle switch making it easy to change back and forth. It prints at a rate of 4 pages per minute using black ink and 1 page per minute in full colour. Photos, due to the better quality desirable, print more slowly, at a little more than 3 minutes for a 15 x 10 cm image. Documents are scanned at a resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi.

There is no built in wireless or Ethernet capability, and the required USB cable is not included. When in operation, the printer is quite noisy, and the clarity of the print on diagonals and curves can be patchy. Overall, the SX215 is a good value for the price. It is dependable and durable, which helps to balance the fact that it is somewhat slow and noisy. It also uses the same ink cartridges as the Epson sx218, so if you have this printer as well you only need to keep one stock of inks for them both.

Using compatible inks will result in a significant savings. Genuine Epson ink cartridges can cost almost 40 GBP for a full set of four, compared to less than 10 GBP for the same number of compatibles. For most purposes, the quality of results is similar.

For any document that needs to last a long time without fading, or in conditions under which it may be subjected to water, Epson ink is a better choice than compatible printer cartridges. The Epson formulation includes resins which make it water-resistant and, according to projections, fade-proof for a hundred years or more.

Genuine Epson ink is therefore best to use for any document or photograph that you need to last. Epson inks also contain a cleaning fluid which reduces the clogging of printheads. Special printhead cleaning cartridges can be purchased as well. For most routine uses, compatible cartridges produce the same quality results and cost much less, so it makes sense to use them.
